john boehner did a favor to all of us, including now-speaker ryan, by working with us to agree on a top line budget framework. that was the basis for subsequent negotiations. he was able to do that because he was going out the door. and was then given, i think, a little more room to maneuver than he previously had. having said that, i also want to give speaker ryan credit. i called both him and mitch mcconnell as well as nancy pelosi and harry reid for the orderly way in which they actually negotiated a budget the way congress historically and typically supposed to work. we've gotten kind of used to last-minute crises and shutdown threats and so forth. this is a messy process that doesn't satisfy everybody completely but it's more typical of american democracy. and i think that speaker ryan deserves a role in that. i will say in his interactions with me, he has been professional. he has reached out to tell me what he can do and what he cannot do. i think it's a good working relationship. we recognize that we disagree on a whole bunch of other stuff and have fundamentally different visio

and president -- did speaker boehner and president obama get along, because they did, and they do. and it is a fallacy -- and i look at some of the faces here i know who have been covering this for a while -- to suggest that it was the personal chemistry between bill clinton and newt gingrich that allowed for the balanced budgets to be created in the 1990s. don't forget, speaker gingrich presided over a house of representatives that impeached the former president. so what is required here is a willingness to accept the simple proposition that in our system of government, and in a specific condition when we have the republicans in control -- largely in control in congress, and definitely in control in the house of representatives, and the democrats here at the white house and in the senate, that not everybody is going to -- you can't get everything you want. you cannot stand on your maximalist position and just hold your breath. and what we experienced and what we continue to experience is the adamant refusal of republicans, led by house republicans, to accept that millionaires and

i asked john boehner at that point can we pass this through the house? is there a majority of votes in the house to get this passed? and speaker boehner i think was incere about wanting to pass it but had difficulty over the last year trying to get it done. so when he finally told me he wasn't going to call it up this year, what i indicated to him is i feel obliged to do everything i can lawfully with my executive authority to make sure that we don't keep on making the system worse, but that whatever executive actions that i take will be replaced and supplanted by actions by ongress. that is a commitment i made not ust to the american people and to the business and evangelical community and law enforcement folks and everybody who has looked at this issue and thinks that we need immigration reform. that is a commitment that i made to john boehner i would act in the absence of action by congress. before the end of the year we are going to take whatever lawful actions that i can take that i believe will improve the functioning of our immigration system that
